Is there a particular role within the committee that you are interested in, if so which and why? (if applicable)
Voting member
I feel that this committee is absolutely critical to the longevity and economic growth of Cardano, so I feel that my time is best spent here, helping us find alignment on the MOST critical activities for Cardano's success.
What is your experiences within Intersect and Cardano?
I have been serving as a voting member of the Membership and Community Committee, the MCC's working group on ecosystem grants, as well as the Core Infrastructure Roadmap Working group as a Co-Chair over the course of 2024. I have also been involved with the Product Committee and the Technical Steering committee to varying degrees.
Since early 2021, I have worked in various capacities to assist many Cardano businesses and services launch, and have worked directly with IOG to deliver core cardano functionality. I was also a co-chair of the Cardano Defi Alliance, and the Cardano Developer Experience Working Group.
What are your pledges and plans should you be elected?
To focus the commitee toward goals that will improve the overall economic state of Cardano. specifically:
Improving the Bridging and Liquidity story for Cardano
Enabling services, practices, and usecases that make Cardano faster and easier to use or build on.
Growing both core and non-core development on Cardano.
in particular - bringing many of the priorities of the Cardano Developer Experience Working Group forward to the Product committee as priorities of intersect and Cardano itself.
Why should the community vote for you?
Continuity - I've been serving on several intersect committees since their inception and have a long history of involvement in the Cardano ecosystem, including helping to assemble the current budget AND shipping most of the Cardano Dapps you know and love.
Do you have any other Cardano affiliations or possible conflicts of interests, including you as an individual or an enterprise you are associated with?
i am CTO at Mlabs.city - Cardano's premier smart contract R&D House and auditor. in this capacity i honor partnerships with dozens of cardano companies and groups. however this does not represent a substantial conflict of interest, as many of them are also part of the intersect membership.
